Sim created it's own twin

I've been playing an unofficial "Legacy" family for several generations. 

I've been focusing on my latest daughter, sold to a witch as a toddler for not being born a boy. She has a VERY low magic skill, having really only read the books and started a couple fires. She knows no other spells, and has one talent point. For a girl sold to a witch as a toddler, she's a great gardener but not super skilled magic wise. 

So It's her birthday, she and all her friends aged up into teens. I took them all to the park to flirt and argue as teens do. It started to rain so we all ran to the bar nearby. 

We are all doing homework and thinking about if we should date our middle school crush when all of a sudden my girl gets up from her chair. She walks to a corner of the room and talks to herself. A poof of smoke and sparkes later and suddenly there are two of them!! 

New girl has a different first name, and different aspiration but otherwise last name, skills, likes/dislikes and clothes are all the same. She does not have the same relationships or inventory but does show up in my family tree as a sister from the same parents. 

I'm so confused! 

I know magic sims can duplicate things when they have that skill but themselves? And if she's a clone why does she have a different name? 

Anyway I added her to my household and gave her a little make over so now she's the "evil" twin.

  • @indieGlamSpellcasters do have a spell called Duplicato which can creates a clone of your sim; however this spell is the highest level of untamed magic and so usually has to be discovered by asking the untamed magic sage. Furthermore, the sims wouldn't want to duplicate the name and so any time you duplicate your sim not in CAS (e.g. cloning machine, magic, etc) it will asign them a similar name and make them your sims sibling

    What @Idiosyncratic53  said.

    That sounds like Duplicato, but that's the ultimate Untamed Magic spell that your Sim has to learn directly from Morgyn (or the current Untamed Magic sage if it's not Morgyn).  I have heard of Sims doing this spell autonomously, but it was as part of a club gathering where casting spells was an activity. 

    In other words... if your Sim is a low-level caster, that's definitely WEIRD.

    Thanks for your answers guys! 

     She was such a low level, so it was perhaps a fluke caused by my mods (MCCC and the one that lets me cheat their needs)

    What's cool is that she stopped doing it after aging up into a young adult, so mb she was going through some teen identity stuff.

    She ended up creating two more "clones" or whatever since I posted this. I originally didn't want her to have kids so was able to make her some nieces and nephews with her clones. They are adorable. 

     Thanks again for your answers!

    How do I get rid of my duplicate? Or is it stuck like that forever?

    @CheryleTemple   Hi!  The duplicate should disappear within a couple sim days.  I just tested it and my sim's duplicate disappeared on the second day and after traveling.
